Are you looking for Personal Chef who does the following?
Prioritizes delicious and nutritious meals through thoughtful ingredient selections and cooking techniques

Does the grocery shopping and cooks at your home or venue at your convenience
I love offering nourishing personalized culinary experiences. I will work with you to develop a menu that will be both nutritious and delicious. I will take care of the groceries and go to your home or event venue to create these experiences.
At this time, I facilitate and personalize intimate gatherings, experiences, and meal prep for clients from Kona, Kūkio to North Kohala area - specializing in gluten-free and dairy-free meals, from vegan to paleo.
My professional experience in the culinary world started when I began volunteering at the San Francisco's Zen City Center Kitchen. While at the Zen City Center, I learned to prep and cook farm-to-table vegetarian meals for large gatherings. From there, I began to offer mindful paleo dinners, where I fused my passion for yoga, meditation, community, and nutrition. After some time, I began to work with my favorite culinary artists in the Bay Area - such as Chef David Tu Phu and State Bird Provision, a Michelin Star Restaurant that serves the best comfort food! By focusing on creating delicious experiences and practicing the middle path in yoga and buddhism in my work, I pay homage to the artists, friends, and teachers I have crossed paths with in my life.
After moving to Hawaii, I began working with retreat centers on the Big Island. Working with the nature from the lands on retreat centers, I learned to play and combine the local abundance of tropical produce and wildlife in my cuisines.
I can also offer - with love and respect - intimate culinary experiences that respect your unique dietary needs. I can create meals for people who follow a paleo or vegan lifestyle - including AIP, low-carb, to low-FODMAP diets. If you follow something else, feel free to let me know and I will see what I can do to help. As somebody who has an autoimmune condition and has been helped by a holistic approach to nutrition, it is my honor to create culinary experiences that would nourish your mind, body, and heart.
